Youth Advisory Board

Young people have the power to change the world.

We – the youth advisors – care about children being prioritised and making sure that Save the Children, the government, and decision-makers take young people’s views seriously.

We joined the Youth Advisory Board to amplify our voices, to inform people about what we are passionate about, the challenges we are currently facing, and to learn and meet other young people.

As youth advisors, we want to use our voices to influence and work with Save the Children to make change for the better.

Every child has the right the express their views, feelings and wishes in matters that affect them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously. 

The Youth Advisory Board, YAB for short, is a group of  young people, aged 12-17, based across the UK that work together to shape and influence across Save the Children's work and, make sure that what Save the Children does and says represents what children want and care about.
